Comment by Zanzari

After a naval battle between the Horde and the Alliance leaves the survivors stranded on the beaches of Pandaria, rescue parties of those factions’ elite soldiers set out explore the mysterious, fog-shrouded island. You are among them.

As one of the first explorers to set foot on Pandaria, you’ll begin your investigation in the midst of the emerald bamboo and coastal marsh of the Jade Forest, where two of Pandaria’s most prominent races make their homes. The monkey-like Hozen and the Jinyu fish-people thrive near the rivers of the Jade Forest, and your first encounters with them are likely to be hostile. Yet, ultimately, your lack of allies and guidance in this unfamiliar land will make befriending the natives your only option.

Home of the Temple of the Jade Serpent, one of the first dungeons that people can enter in Pandaria.

It looks like they celebrate the Year of The Dragon every day there, going by some of the pictures.Being a dragon fanatic, I love it.

For the Horde!

If you're searching for the portal to Pandaria, u should go to the Valley of Strenght! The portal is in the middle of the area, casted by a pandaren.

Please rate up so everyone who's still searching for it will see this (:

Portal back to Honeydew Village is located in Orgrimmar in the Valley of Honor, near the Fishing Trainer.

Comment by TosuroWoW

Watch out when flying near Oona Kagu (cave south from Sri-La village). It dismounts you even if you are high above it.

Comment by Sora14

Some of the landscape seems to be inspired by Huang Mountains - Blizzard has done a great job on this one.

Comment by BaltarAvarian

For Alliance, portal back to Paw'don Village is located in northeast Stormwind, near the giant floating balloon.

Comment by Crysia

To get back to Pandaria as an alliance: There is a portal located under the air balloon near the cataclysm portals in stormwind, which will port you back to Paw'don village.

If you fly off the south end of the map in this zone, you end up in an area full of small, empty islands called the Uncharted Sea. There is a partially sunken ship on one of them at 70, 74 (coords for the Pandaria world map, not the Jade Forest one) containing a chest with around 100 gold in it.

So I'm a level 86 hunter blood elf named Drathellia and I have the Serpents Overlook Flight Point in The Jade Forest already... The story begins....

I didn't see a way to get up the mountain from the ground on my map, but I had to find a way.

I decided to Parachute cloak glide across the valley from the cliffs to the north, suicidal u say? u bet... I knew the giant boa constrictors there wouldn't give me easy passage.(The cliffs to the north are at 43, 50. There are silver elite boas here but I found they offer 26,000xp and are not to bad a fight if u want some easy xp, there are quite a few here and re spawn is a few minutes at most.)

By starting combat with one of the glow wasps there (and after making sure I was in the right position) I used disengage and immediately popped parachute cloak... as i glide away from the cliffs I proceeded to look across the valley to the south and "just" slide around the hill with the small hut and kites lying between my objective and my launch point and continue on through the air... I finally land on the north west side of the Serpents Overlook safe and sound my quarry unaware of my silent landing...

I then climbed up the side of the small mountain and claimed my new flight point confident that other greater challenges would soon be conquered...

(Just learned by looking at my engineering that the goblin ^&*!@# is way easier to do this with especially if u have rocket boosters or one of the two rocket boots =D )

Comment by davidjames65

Dude, has anyone else noticed the ship out in the uncharted waters? Its at the middle top of the swell drawn on the map out underneath the jade forest and east of kasarang wilds, its out in fatigued water but i get to about half fatigue and then i can land on it. Cool duel spot, can fish there too, i got mostly giant mantis shrimp and reef octopus, minimal trash at 525 fishing. (I leveled 498-525 out there earlier today.)

Comment by ninelevel9

anyone know how to get the flight path at serpents overlook, if you already did the quest the takes you up there?

Comment by silver772

can anyone tell me where the vendor that sells the green quality teir 9 look aliek gear is on alliance? i know where the one on horde is, but for some reason i can't seem to find the alliance one

Comment by Diadom

There is actually a "flight path" on the shore of the very northwest part of the zone, just east of the Horde ship wreckage if you fall of the edge here. It just gets you back up to the main land. Cords 27.5

Comment by Mouran

How do you leave pandaria, if you haven't leveled all the way to 90 yet, can you get back to other areas?

Comment by Chrismann

Here is a list of the Jade Forest Rare SpawnsThere is a total of 8 rare spawns

Comment by Terrassen

Just as many other of the musics in Pandaria, they are "borrowed" from other famous songs outside the game. The occasional music parts here have parts directly from Star Wars: Both in Episode 4 when Luke watches the horizon sunset on Tatooine or Episode 6, during Luke's cremation of Anakin on Endor.

Comment by Glawhantojar

There's a couple of long dead skeletons sitting at a table at 40.1 / 50.3, on top of a large spire.

You can only get up there by flying... You do not get anything from it, but I thought it was interesting.

/way 40.1 50.3

At 85, you can get a quest that will bring you to The Jade Forest. For Alliance characters, you can get it from King Varian Wrynn. For Horde characters, you get it from Garrosh Hellscream. For the Horde character I'm not certain, but since the Alliance leader gives the quest, I'd think that the Horde leader would give it too.

Comment by Kemetenibast

All the Hozen Pandaria better watch out, or i'll kick em in the Tushui!

Comment by Zakuhai

There is a location called Tiger's Wood in the Jade Forest. Might be a reference to something... And no I don't mean tiger's... ehm... "how do you do".

Comment by fredolean

I just hit 85 took the kings quest for the lost Prince, I try to use my fly mount and couldn't go any where, is there a quest or some way to use mu flymount there ? Thank you.

Comment by sweetheartwva

How do I start the quest to get to Jade Forest? I haven't played in over a yr and I don't remember.. Thanks for everyone help..

Comment by ilostmahbucket

Finishing this The Art of War questchain, obtained from talking to General Nazgrim near Garrosh in Orgrimmar, will open a portal from Orgrimmar to Honeydew Village and vice versa.

(For those of you who faction transferred to horde and need to re-complete the chain to open the portal)

Comment by Yogilaw

Major Gripe Time!

I know that everyone has their own way of playing the game, but for the love of God I cannot understand why there are some who continue to crash & bash their way through the dallies in this zone when they are vastly over levelled.

At 500+ ilvl, I would have thought they had bigger things to be going after, but clearly not. Taking out the rares, & mobs in the Cloud Serpent dallies & getting in the way of genuine levellers. I don't get it.

This also seems to be happening in Valley of the 4 Winds, Kun Lai Summit & Vale of Eternal Blossoms.Go do a raid or Dungeon that will test your skill for pity's sake!

FYI for Flightpath at Grookin Hill (Horde fp (27.81 47.92)):Unlocked for me after acceptingInstant Messaging from Chief Kah Kah (27.98, 47.2). I didn't have to turn the quest in to get the fp.

Annoying part: this quest is not available until you've completed all the starting quests at the starting temple, Honeydew Village, the airship/Lake Kittitata, and for Lorewalker Cho at the Circle of Bone and Circle of Stone to get to a point where this quest unlocks.

You start heading towards Grookin Hill when General Nazgrim sends you to Lorewalker Cho to get the Lay of the Land (4-part chain). Cho will then have you Peering Into the Past before you explore your Family Tree (5-part chain, fp unlocks at #4).

The Jade Forest

The Jade Forest has undergone an extensive revision since we first previewed it, to better demonstrate the Alliance and Horde conflict. This zone is the first zone players will reach upon questing in Pandaria. Unlike past expansions, there are not two options for starting zones.

Players will acquaint themselves with Pandaren culture, as well as the Jinyu and Hozen. The Alliance will trace Anduin Wrynn's disappearance, and both sides will have a tragic clash by the Temple of the Jade Serpent, a new 5-player dungeon. Players will also have to return to The Jade Forest at 90 to train with Order of the Cloud Serpent in order to ride Cloud Serpent mounts.
